I know, you thought I’d given up on posting original content. Ha! Never!! I’ve just been tending to a slew of eBay alerts.

I’ve recently become obsessed with the Swiss watch manufacturer Rado. Maybe it’s just one of my little fads, but whatever, these watches have so much character. I like all of them. There’s an online archive that shows many of the models—beware it’s big. Just to name a few models that I’ve been tracking, there’s the Manhattan, Silver Star, Purple Horse and Green Horse. And I want them all. I didn’t even name the really obscure/rare models like the Space Flight.

Another little tidbit and one that is related to my previous post about removing watch scratches, the Rado Diastar was the world’s first scratch-proof watch. (via Wikipedia)
